SEMTEX Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'll have this by tonight. Annoyed I can't transfer tracks. Anyway, does it have a beatles-esque story mode or something? What makes it different/worthy of a new game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'll have this by tonight. Annoyed I can't transfer tracks. Anyway, does it have a beatles-esque story mode or something? What makes it different/worthy of a new game? Yeah the story is basically just tracking their career through different venues, so their early material at the Cavern, Hard Day's Night on American TV, Stadium Concerts, the Abbey Road hideout, and the Rooftop finale. What makes it worthy of a new game? Well its definitely got the best visuals to date and there is a lot of attention to detail, but ultimately it is a new game because it is the Beatles and it is a beatles game for Beatles fans. Think about it this way: £40 for 45 songs is cheaper than it would be if it was released on a track basis online, and lets face it, you can't just release a tiny proportion of their catalogue as people will be dissapointed. You've got to go the whole way here and the game is probably the cheapest and most efficient way to do it. Only bother buying if you are a Beatles fan though.

SEMTEX Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yeah, I understand the marketing etc, just wondering about actual computer game changes. I'm gonna give the story a try and see if I get into it. Ultimately, I would've bought this if I could transfer the tracks. As I can't transfer the tracks, I won't be buying it.

Guest BooBoo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Is it physically possible to play such games as Rock Band and Guitar Hero and retain any sense of coolness? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Will my guitar hero, guitar work with Rock Band? Yes (as long as you're not trying to play the game on an XBOX with a PS2 controller ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I bought the full limited edition set with the new drums, a Hofner bass controller and mic with stand and it is fucking lush! The bass/guitar controller is awesome, almost a full-size neck on it which makes a lot easier for us long-armed lads to play. And the game itself is quality as well. 10/10 for me best music game by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older Guitar Hero games were really good but since GH3 there's been something missing IMO. They started to lean over to the casual family gamer and Rock Band delivered a cracking game with their first outing while Guitar Hero just went backwards.

Clay Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The music on the first Rockband was shite imo.. then again i like me heavy metals so Guitar hero 1 to 3 are the best for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DLC / ability to transfer songs from RB1 -> RB2 is pretty much the best thing about the game imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naah, I get the feeling this game is a lot more about experiencing the ride of going through a Beatles catalogue and getting in touch with your hippy vibe than any mental guitar solos.
